Trivia
According to costume designer Penny Rose, everyone had a customized costume in keeping with their background: "We based it on the culture and what the shapes should be - everyone's in a kimono - but we've thrown a kind of fashion twist at it and we've made it full of colour." See more »Goofs
In several of the scenes, it is highly noticeable that the flags and banners and tents used throughout the movie are machine stitched with modern double needle stitching. Also that the loops used to attached to poles are stitched in the "X in a box" style not used till very recently in history. For a clear example see (time-stamp)21m0s when the Samurai challenger in the silver mask and suit emerges from the tent and look at the banner in the background. The mechanical sewing machine will not have been invented for at least another 50 years after this historic incident had happened. and the sewing machine still would not reach Japan for many more decades.

My wife and I saw this movie panned by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and the only conclusion we came to is they just were not sensitive to the culture of Japanese mythology. The movie was excellent. We had been dying to see it since the first announcements, and despite the critics reviews, we went. Thank goodness we did.
The special effects were good, the story was good. Keanu Reeves did not come off as Bwana, the white savior of the poor little Japanese people, as some people might think, as per the usual American movies. He did stand out, but it was well shared with the Japanese actors.
The story itself is not American, and I believe that may have thrown off critics. The ending is unusual, though I will not spoil it for you.
I recommend this movie highly. Should you have the itch as we did, see it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
